Chapter 977
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âYouâ¦â
âItâs still early in the morning, and youâre already angry.â Zachary tugged Charlotte to sit back down. âIâll send you off after breakfast.â
âLet go of me!â
Charlotte wanted to get free from his grasp but froze when she met his gaze. It seemed he was hinting something at her.
âSure. Itâs just a meal.â Charlotte sneered, âThey wonât eat me anyways.â
Taylor coughed dryly at her sneer.
Cynthia merely sat there obediently with her head lowered. Tears were falling as though she had suffered greatly.
âSince youâre leaving, I think we should talk.â
Henry suppressed his anger and tried his best to seem humble.
âWhat are you trying to say?â Charlotte gazed at him coldly.
Henry sighed deeply. âI still feel the guilt regarding Mrs. Berryâs incident two years ago.â
Charlotte was surprised at his repentance. It was the first time he admitted to his mistake. Has he honestly regretted his actions?
âThese two years have been hell to me. The kids were estranged from me, especially Robbie. Heâs been blaming me for sending you away ever since. Zachary was also cold and kept his distance from me.
âIt wasnât that I didnât reflect on my actions. I have frequently wondered I wouldnât have insisted on sending you away if I could make that choice again. But there is no turning back in life.
âUnfortunately, mistakes have been made. And thereâs no way to rectify it even if I was the worst kind of criminal.
âI donât know how you feel about your new identity. But you will realize life doesnât leave you with much of a choice as you age.
âEspecially when youâre in a high position, you have to take into consideration the fate of your family and grandchildrenâs future in your every thought and action. You canât just think about yourself.â
âWhat are you trying to say?â Charlotte wanted a straightforward answer.
âI hope you can be more considerate of your children.â
Henry finally spoke his mind.
âAre you sure it is better for the kids when you take them to the Lindberg residence? âEven though youâre a Lindberg and the second major shareholder of the Lindberg Corporation, you rely on Danrique for everything you have.
âWhat will happen if you defy him one day? And he got mad, then took everything away from you. I know youâre fine on your own, but what about the kids? âWhere would they go? âDo they have to move from city to city with you?â
Undeniably, his words struck a nerve in Charlotte.
She had considered all these problems hence her worries.
I, myself, donât feel any sense of belonging to the Lindberg family. So I hadnât wanted to take the kids there if it wasnât for the continuous dangerous occurrences they faced in the Nacht residence.
Henry took a sip and continued, âIf you have any grudges, Iâll try my best to make it up to you. I can even apologize to you with my humblest and deepest sincerity. Anything is fine.
âBut I hope you can refrain from acting recklessly and be more considerate of the kidsâ future. Robbie will be the successor to the Nacht family, while Jamie and Ellie are the descendants of the Nacht family. This place is their home.
âIf theyâre in the Lindberg residence, they would be subjected to othersâ ministration. It wonât be their home.â
âYou truly are an excellent negotiator. Every word you said is on point.â Charlotte jeered, âI had considered everything you mentioned. But the kids didnât seem to inherit anything from the Nacht family. And if they keep falling sick and injuredâ¦â
âDo you want me to expose the truth?â
Rage gripped Henry at her words. âHow did Ellie end up like that? Isnât it because of the poison by Danrique? And Zachary was also bitten by Danriqueâs poisonous snake-â
âWho told you Danrique poisoned Ellie?â Charlotte yelled angrily.
